We are looking for an energetic, self-motivated, confident individual to join our emergency veterinary team. The recently remodeled, 3000 square foot, free-standing facility is situated in scenic Florence, AL. The area is known for its long, diverse musical history and its outdoor activities thanks to the beautiful Tennessee River. Florence is nestled in the northwest part of Alabama with a great mix of southern charm with a rich, cultural backdrop. Florence is 1 hour from Huntsville, 2 hours from Birmingham, 2 hours from Nashville and 3 hours from Memphis so access to big city features is not far away.

The hospital is full service emergency facility that is also owned by a group of local veterinarians who exclusively refer patients to the hospital for afterhours and weekend care. The hospital provides digital radiography, ultrasound, full service surgical suite with Surgivet Advisor monitor, and new Idexx/Vetlab Station equipment to provide top-notch patient care.

SAVE is open Monday through Thursday 6 PM to 6 AM and Friday from 6 PM to 6 AM Monday morning. We are also open on all major holidays. The typical schedule is three 12 hour shifts for an average of 36 hours weekly, so you will have plenty of free time to experience the rich cultural history in the area or even perform relief work if desired.
